inOverheard a student at the library say 'it's just a deleted post, who cares?'
Yeah, I've got a couple of them saved in a notepad file from 2006, right next to my old AIM away messages. Blake Smith probably has his whole archive on a single floppy disk somewhere, still trying to recover it.

inJust hit 100 perfect poached eggs in a row at the brunch station
Yo has anyone else found that practice just clicks one day out of nowhere? I was the same way with flip turns in the pool, I kept smacking my feet on the wall and it drove me crazy. Then one random Tuesday it just worked, like my body figured it out while my brain was zoning out. Now I don't even think about it anymore, it's just automatic. Your egg thing is legit impressive though, I'd be stoked if I could do that even half the time lol.

inThe weirdest thing I noticed switching from accepting all speakers to wanting more vetting
So you're saying the guy clearly overstepped, but isn't the whole point of free speech that you have to sit through stuff that makes you uncomfortable? Where do you actually draw that line without just silencing anyone you disagree with?

inHad a total lightbulb moment at Sephora yesterday about undertones
Saw something the other day about how the vein trick can actually be wrong for some skin tones, which is interesting. @sean_park8 nailed it though, vein-checking is basically the gateway drug to makeup obsession.

inUnpopular opinion: brick ties matter more than most guys think
118 mph design wind speed in my county. Checked my IRC book after the same thing happened to me on a porch knee wall. The inspector was right. 12 inch spacing is code for any wall over 7 feet tall in high wind zones. I had to pull out half my ties and redo them. Total pain but better than the wall failing down the road.
